A rare, 2002 Mercedes CLK-GTR Roadster said to be valued at $13 million has been seized by the FBI’s Los Angeles unit as part of its probe into former Olympian and fugitive Ryan James Wedding and his associates, officials announced this week.

The car is one of only six roadsters ever built, Autoblog reported.

Wedding, a former Canadian Olympic snowboarder, went on to become a transnational narcotics trafficker, authorities said. He is accused of ordering the murder of a federal witness before he could testify against Wedding, according to an indictment unsealed earlier this week.

Ten other defendants have been arrested on charges in the indictment, which accuses Wedding of orchestrating the January killing of a witness in Colombia to help Wedding avoid extradition to the United States.
